Take Anthony Fasano for example, who went the entire year without dropping a single pass. He may not excite a fanbase like some other tight ends, but he’s once again proven to be a reliable weapon for his quarterback.

He was the only tight end not to drop a pass, while three others all ended the year with only the one drop.

Maybe he's lost a step... and he didn't have much of a step to begin with.

Even before this season, the tight end position for the Dolphins could have used an upgrade. The last time the Dolphins had any serious threat at tight end was when they had Fasano and David Martin together on the field.

Upgrade or not, he lost that much of a step between last year and this year? He's only 28 and it's not like the dude had suffered major injuries.

How is it so preposterous that the scheme wasn't using him correctly? I don't recall Sherman/Tanny utilizing that position all that much at A&M.

Not sure of the accuracy of that stat, I remember him dropping some early in the season.

Rich I agree, I don't buy the title of this thread as I recall a few passes in the regular season that were catchable passes dropped by Fasano. He had a decent season, but regardless, Fasano is a good #2 tight end for the fins and not the seam threat that they need period. This is a position that must be upgraded during the off season. I'm not sure if this is his contract year, but I certainly don't bring him back for more than back up money and spend on someone that will make a bigger impact on offense.
